Gerry's Prepared Veg U12 Div 2 : Drumhowan 7-5 Toome 2-4 . We had Toome as visitors to Mc Keown Park on Monday evening last the 18th of May for the first game in the Summer League on an evening that was more like Winter. Played in torrential rain and in bitterly cold conditions Drumhowan made a good start in the first ten minutes to take a good lead they kept throughout the rest of the match. The second half was a scrappy affair as both teams tired in the conditions and both sides ran in a number of subs. So a winning start but much improvement needed in the coming weeks. Next up is a tough away fixture to Truagh possibly now on the Bank Holiday Monday.
Under 10- It's a busy week for this squad as they have 2 games. First up on this Thursday evening we host Monaghan Harps in Drumhowan for a 7pm start.
